Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards Prediction

I don’t want to back the Washington Wizards as much as the next guy, but they have the rest advantage, and they’re coming off a nice win over the Hornets. The Milwaukee Bucks are dealing with a banged-up Antetokounmpo and Lillard, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Bucks are playing their fourth game this week overall. This should be a win-and-get-out situation with so much wear and tear in recent days. Lots of points. Give me the Wizards.
